UTAS UTS-15 Tactical Shotgun

    UTAS made their UTS-15 Tactical Shotgun available at 2015 Industry Day at the Range and made the experience complete by putting their new suppressor on it. I had the opportunity to shoot clay targets with the UTS-15 and was pleased with the shotgun’s overall performance. At 6.9 pounds empty, it has some heft, and it’s a pleasure to shoot. It fit naturally to my shoulder and its pointability made shattering clays simple. Although it obviously wasn’t designed as a field shotgun it performed well, meaning it has a nice streak of versatility in it. MSRP is $995 and this shotgun has definitely made my wish list.
